The mommy missile is no more...

In an attempt to bring our monthly costs down, Connor and I purchased this little number last weekend. We are saving mucho bucks and "saving planet Earth" as Nick would like to put it.

(We even brought it home from the dealership on Earth Day...isn't that too funny.)

It is a Toyota Prius and it get 45 miles to the gallon- gotta love that!

Now, I know it looks tiny, but it is actually very roomy inside. Connor bought an SUV a few months back so we decided there was no reason for both of us to have huge vehicles. The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that I can no longer haul half the neighborhood around. (That might actually be a good thing)

It is a blast to drive and is very high tech. It doesn't even have a key. Weird? Yes!

The dashboard looks like it came out of an episode of Star Trek, therefore we refer to my new car as the "Jetson's" car.

So, you won't be able to miss our family coming down the street anymore when Connor is behind the wheel of his big "voodoo blue" Tonka truck and me in my red Jetson's car!

(The mommy missile has found a new loving home. Connor's sister, Sarah, is now the proud owner and will put it to great use up in Bellingham with her lovely, soon to be expanded family.)
